    Do fans particularly follow fighters closer to their own physical size?

    Been wondering whether there is some degree of truth to this. For example, do naturally smaller guys tend to more closely follow the lower divisions, while naturally bigger guys really like following heavyweight boxing? In the sense that you identify more with fighters who have closer physical dimensions to yourself.

      I think it's true too, I only follow huge ripped guys like Anthony Joshua and Vladimir Klitschko.

        Yes, people are getting smaller, that's why no-one watches heavyweights anymore. This obesity problem is a lie.
